State Attributes
United Nations Organization membership (now 193 members) and sovereign control over two-letter Country-Code top level Internet domain (now 196) are usual attributes of sovereign state.
UN membership
Now UN has 193 members and 2 non-member states with observer status.
UN member status for a state should be approved by General Assembly and Security Council including all 5 its permanent members (China, France, Russia, UK, USA).
Palestine and Vatican are recognized by UN General Assembly as non-member states and observers. Palestinian membership application was rejected by some UN SC members and Vatican does not apply not to lose any piece of sovereignty (so did Switzerland till 2002).
Niue and Cook Islands have sovereign diplomatic relations with several countries and membership in some UN agencies but do not apply for UN member or observer status not to lose New Zealand citizenship rights for their population. So, both of them are partly dependent territories.
Taiwan (Republic of China) was replaced in UN by People's Republic of China in 1971. It has 20 full diplomatic recognitions. Its UN membership application of 2007 was not put to General Assembly by UN Secretary General.
All of 5 above mentioned countries have full control over their Internet domains.
Kosovo is recognized by more than half UN members and is member of some UN agencies, but not enough support to apply for UN membership. Kosovo has separate telephone code but never had CC TLD.
CC TLD
Two-letter domain can be delegated by ICANN to national domain registry after including country-code to United Nations List of Country Names and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) list. More than 50 dependent territories have two-level codes administered by parent state.
Western Sahara national government is recognized by almost half UN members but not by ICANN, its .eh domain is frozen.
International recognition procedure (ISO, UN)
On May 6, Kosovo membership in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) was adopted with 96 countries voting in favor, 8 against (Angola, Azerbaijan, Cyprus, El Salvador, Georgia, Greece, Pakistan, Romania, Slovak Republic, and Venezuela), 32 submitted written abstentions, 47 did not vote. On June 29, 2009 Kosovo became member of IMF and World Bank (and it seems enough for ISO to include it in the List of States).
ISO can include new country to its list after Working Group on Country Names of United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names has included it into the UNGEGN List of Country Names (latest versions - August 2012, May 2014). It seems that the next list will be prepared to 30th Session of the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (7 and 18 August 2017, NY, USA) and 11th United Nations Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names (8-17 August 2017, NY).
States with limited recognition
